I was so thrilled and honored when JustRite Stampers invited me to be a part of their 12 Weeks of Christmas Blog Hop. They have put together an incredible line-up of designers who, over twelve Wednesdays until Thanksgiving, will showcase some of the most creative Christmas ideas and projects out there using the JRS Christmas Collection of stamps. This week features most of the Copic design team and Certification Instructors! Lucky me, I get to be a part of it this week, too, and I wanted to make a special card.I love it when an idea I have in my head turns out exactly as I envisioned. When I saw the images in the Christmas Nested Frames & Occasions set, I wondered to myself whether or not I could use them to create a cozy holiday scene. I pulled out the stamps, along with a couple other fab holiday sets, and got to work. Before I "spill the beans" on how I created this card, I just want to point out that the garland on the fireplace is actually one of the border images! I simply inked it in on three sides. I then drew the mantle and fireplace around it. I was tickled to see that one of the smallest of the nested sentiments (my favorite) was the perfect size to make for a pretty framed picture above the fireplace. When I was finished, I really did feel that hearts do come home for the holidays.
